As the days get shorter and the weather turns, many of us in farming feel that shift — darker mornings, colder starts, and less daylight to get things done.
In this episode, we talk about what seasonal change really does to our energy, mood, and motivation — and how to look after your wellbeing through it. From managing tiredness and routine changes when the clocks go back, to finding small moments of light and connection during long winter days, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone in feeling the impact of the seasons.
You’ll hear:
Why the change in light and weather affects your mind and body
Practical ways to adjust your routine as the clocks go back
How to stay connected and positive during the darker months
Tips for checking in with yourself and others on the farm
